3-Point Hitch GC1700s say one thing but do another ????

[AxleHub]

OK . . So how many times can I read the manuals . . . operate the controls in testing it . . . and still nothing changes ????

I have no problems raising and lowering my 3 pt. hitch. And I have no problems cutting grass with the mmm. But when I want to use the hitch but keep the mmm up . . . do you think I can do it ??? Lol. Now I'm not talking about running PTOs . . neither rear or mid . . . this is just the lifts.

The manuals (both deck manual and tractor manual) tell you that the height adjust for the mid pto lift/mmm needs to be set while in full up. OK

It tells you there is 1 thru 5 settings plus lock. So I try lock about a dozen times. But the mmm still comes down. So I go all the way counterclockwise to 1 . . Still comes down. All the way clockwise . . Mmm still comes down.

Lol . . . a grown man or woman should be able to do this in their sleep . . Lol . . maybe thats my problem . . I'm awake

So how do I keep my mmm deck in full up position while I vary the 3pt hitch height ?

Last post states it's an issue and MF is aware of it. No permanent solution at this time.

Theres a screw know between your legs in the floor. Lift all the attachments to the highest position and then twist the screw up to the highest setting, I think its counter clock wise when looking down on it. This is what keep the mower deck up when you operate the 3PH.

When I had my GC2400, I found that the nut came off the bottom of the adjustment rod so it would not hold the MMM up. Replaced the nut at the bottom and put a jam nut with it and it worked fine after that.

Greetings wrangler,

Thats the point of this thread . . I've done that a dozen times and it doesn't work. At least so far I haven't found a thing that causes it to work.

I don't understand where you say "It tells you there is 1 thru 5 settings plus lock" part. Its just a screw adjustment, no settings.
